"1 don't know when the captain first
heard about the I' boats," said Mr. Dun
yon. "We didn't hear until Wednes
day night.
"That ewninjj the women und chil
dren were holding n concert in the mu-

except ii lew who were asleep, were in
the looking room.
When the Lights Went Out.
"Suddenly every light aboard went

no improvement.

it's submarines.'
"That was u jolt, but it was not any
thing like the jolt we got n few seconds
later when the captain appeared on
deck.
'Throw tlio.se cigars overboard and
get inside -all of you.' he ordered, and
a few minutes later he rejoined us.
"'I don't want to be harsh,' he said,
'but it's my duty to warn you that all
nf us are in deadly peril; until further
notice you must keep clear of the decks.
Any passenger found on deck will be
taken into custody. If you men must
smoke I'll break the ship's rule and

a raider and steamed us fast as we
could away from her. A few hack

for he was rapidly fading out of sight.
"The incident raised our spirits a
bit. but they sink aguiu a little later
when we passed .1 pile of wreckage. It
must have been from a vessel recently
sunk as it was new and bright. Next
morning we were told we were in the
vicinity where the auhinariuca were op

bridge since Wednesday night for long
er than two minutes. Now he was glued
to it. They deserve medals- these offi
cers. "We didn't sight any lifeboats, but
we steered around several objects which
might Have been mines. At last we
saw the coast looming larger and closer.
Nobody cheered, but I think we all
